i bet it will there tomorrow... customs can be a pain... and sometimes once its released it will be at your door before they even say it left customs lol....
its really redicolous guys. I say again that is the last time that I send GG with post office. Next time will be with DHL. Post offices are totally stupid

lol the postal service does some funny stuff sometimes...
They aren't stuck in customs...I know that for sure. The only thing I can figure is either the port of entry is delayed on forwarding packages or the weather in the Eastern part of the USA is delaying things. I've got other international packages that are cleared and still not here also.
Yeah, I hear ya....At this point, It is what it is....So lets just hope for 2morrow...It would really make my monday! =) lol
Imeo, I think that would be a GOOD idea...no more post office..lol...I think DHL is the way to go..I dont know what the price difference is, but they are way more quick and reliable.

Its not the price Hefner, its the fact that I send them with post office in a way that customs will not open the package. DHL told me that the package will be opened in customs so I was afraid for a big delay there and a big fee for Rob. But even if the package will be not opened by the way I send it, the delay is still very big.
I think that post offices are totally unreliable even if the package is not stuck in customs.

Imeo,
Yeah, I hear ya...The delay will always be there, I guess sometimes it makes it though quicker then others depending on many variables... Plus we are all really wanting our GGTS so the wait seems longer then it really is...haha...Hopefully 2morrow or early this week...
I agree with ya tho, if DHL told me there gonna open the package in customs ...It would have steered me to the Post office too...trying to avoid more delays and fees. You damned if you do, damned if you dont.

Hell in the last week they've miss delivered two of my packages. I live in California and one they sent to Atlanta from Wisconsin and the other to the wrong place in California. Both were addressed correctly.
the main issue is the Postal service is okay but they need to upgrade there machines . I know I use to work for the USPS for two years. Fed EX and UPS are way better for most shipments... but they do charge more.
I worked for fedex four years and our tracking system was way better than the postal service.
heck yea the fed ex tracking is way better... it will even give you a rough estimate for time of delivery... I like that... gives me more room in the day to get stuff done...lol
Imeo,
Hopefully by saying something like "battery holders," or "batteries and related materials," will help get them through customs without unnecessary prying and unanticipated costs on the receiving end. I do believe the quickest and most successful overseas packages I've received have been clearly labeled as something unremarkable on the waybill, and packed beyond belief in fifty layers of bubble wrap and packing tape.

I always mark them as battery holders buGG but I think that the secret is the price outside the package. I secured them for 3000 euros so customs maybe wanted to know what was inside that costs so much money.
But you dont know what to do sometimes because if you put 50 euros outside the package, you will avoid customs but your damages will be 50 euros only if the pachage got lost. GG is a very expensive cig so its a risk not to secure it.
